**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and
resident's choice for 1 of 7 (Resident #1) reviewed for Quality of Care. 1.The facility failed to call emergency
services and have Resident #1 immediately transferred to the hospital, on 08/09/25 when she experienced
a change in condition at 11:30 a.m., including a blood pressure reading of 203/98 and a change in mental
status. The facility failed to monitor Resident #1 after the change in condition was noted and used a
non-emergency ambulance service, which resulted in a delay in her receiving emergency care until after
1:13 p.m., approximately one hour and 51 minutes after her initial change in condition. Resident #1 was
noted to have a blood glucose level of 44 upon arrival to the hospital and was treated for Hypoglycemia (a
condition in which the body's blood sugar level goes below the standard range). An Immediate Jeopardy
(IJ) was identified on 08/14/25 at 5:35 p.m. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:35
p.m. While the IJ was removed on 08/16/25, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated
with a severity level of the potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, due to the
facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. These failures placed residents who
had a change in condition at risk of prolonged pain, worsening of condition, prolonged recovery, and
possible death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 08/12/25 revealed a
Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the NF on 06/03/25 and readmitted on [DATE].
Resident #1's diagnoses included Cerebrovascular Disease (A group of conditions that affect the blood
vessels in the brain), Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension (High blood pressure), Psychotic disorder, Dementia
Chronic Kidney Disease, Conversion Disorder with seizures (involves the experience of real, physical
seizures that mimic epileptic seizures but have no underlying medical or neurological cause). Record
review of Resident #1's Initial MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 07, which indicated
severe cognitive impairment. Section GG of the MDS revealed the resident used a wheelchair and walker
for mobility devices. The resident required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues
and/or touching/steading and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity, Assistance may
be provided throughout the activity or intermittently) for eating, oral and personal hygiene. The resident
requires partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports
trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) for upper body dressing, sit to lying, lying to sitting on
side of bed, sit to stand, chair/bed to chair transfer and toilet transfer. The resident requires
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs
and provides more than half the effort) for toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, and
